  Lofty's "The SAS Survival Handbook" in hardback was my bible back in the 80's when I was a teenager - it was always at my bedside (that and a copy of Smash Hits featuring Kylie Minogue obviously)! 😁

  I've read the SAS survival handbook 4 times. I've read other books but nothing and I mean nothing comes close to this book in the amount of useful info provided. Thanks for this informative video. Please keep up the good work.

  Watching your video and glanced up at my bookshelf to see the original book poking out at me. It's a beast of a book not just in content but in size. I labeled my copy with surname and reggie number and just noticed how many of us old knackers commenting here still use our last four as part of our email addresses...yourself included😂😂😂

  Great kit.  Like the tin foil suggestion and the improvised bellows.

  Good video. One of the 6 inch nails can also be made into a spear barb very easily .I did this years ago while on a hunting trip to Stewart Island (New Zealand). A small fire a bit of beating with an axe head for shaping &nbsp;etc. speared a few flounder and one cod with it. Also in another hunting trip in the north Island I sharpened both ends of a nail , tired some string to the middle<br> of the nail , baited it with a bit of meat , used cotton to gently tie the nail along the length of the string and threw it into &nbsp;a deep part of a creek and an eel took it straight away.. as the eel swallows the bait , the cotton breaks away and the sharp ends of the nail lodge in the throat of the eel. 2 inch nails are best. this is an old maori way of catching them , except they used wood.<br>Nails in a kit are always handy to have. &nbsp; &nbsp;Our eels can get quite large out her in NZ.

  Excellent video! I cut off a thin strip of fine grain sanding paper for my tin and stuck it to the inside lid. Can be used well to strike a match, and also good for filing down finger nails if they become pulled and things start snagging on them.

  That little folding blade with tweezers you can glue a small ferro rod on the back spine of the folding cutter blade and use 90 degree spine of tweezers to use as a striker very compact

  On the lighter. Add 20 ft of fishing line, and 2 small hooks to the end of the tape.
